Rhynchotus rufescens
The Red-winged Tinamou is a reasonably common bird at Reserva Don Luis, but although it can often be heard, especially in the spring/summer, it is not often seen. It has a mournful distinct call. Â This species spends most of its time in longish grass.
This is quite a large bird of some 38cm that has a long curved bill and large feet. Â Its back and wings are barred, its neck and breast are cinnamon and when it flies (which is not often), the leading edges of the wing are red. Â It also has a narrow dark cap on its head.
